Westmeath 1-4 Kilkenny 0-518 mins – What a boost for the home side! Niall Mitchell gathered the puckout and transferred it to Shane Clavin who whipped a fierce shot first time that was well blocked by goalkeeper Darren Brennan. But he could do nothing to stop the rebound as it fell perfectly for James Goonery to find the net.

Westmeath 1-4 Kilkenny 0-619 mins – Fine point in response for Kilkenny by Pat Lyng, a great individual effort as he cut in from the left wing past challenges.

Kilkenny 1-20 Westmeath 1-1159 mins – And that’s it that. Kilkenny finally hit the net with Alan Murphy raising a green flag to follow up an earlier point. Richie Leahy has just added another. Tough on Westmeath after such a brave effort.

So we’ll have Kilkenny and Wexford in the Leinster U21 hurling final. We’ll be back tomorrow night with coverage of the start of the Munster championship as Limerick take on Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds at 7.30pm. Thanks for joining us this evening.
